Dining at The Royal & Fortescue Hotel

About

At the Royal and Fortescue Hotel, you have the difficult choice of elegant dining in the Restaurant, relaxed treats in the Coffee House, or the luxury of 62 The Bank.

 
The  Royal and Fortescue Restaurant offers first class cuisine in a lavish setting. Opulent furnishings and attentive staff create a special dining experience. 62 The Bank is a fashionable bar and bistro adjoining the Royal and Fortescue Hotel, where there is superb food and a vibrant atmosphere until late.

Royal and Fortescue Restaurant

Mouth-watering menus are complemented by personal attentive service and impressive surroundings. The Restaurant makes a great venue for a memorable luncheon party with family and friends, maybe to celebrate a special birthday, wedding anniversary or indeed any other special occasion.

Every lunch time including Saturday and Sunday evening, the restaurant is where you can take your pick from the fabulous and famous carvery. Non-residents are welcome.

Make sure you reserve your table for a first-rate dining experience at one of the best restaurants in North Devon. Extensive sample menus are available to download from their website, so you can get an idea of the fabulous food on offer.

62 The Bank

Adjacent to the Royal and Fortescue Hotel, you will find 62 The Bank with its oak panelling and incredible Jacobean ceiling. Despite its archetypically English setting, 62 The Bank creates great flavours from around the globe. It's a wonderful place to meet up with friends and linger over a coffee, lunch or an evening meal. The atmospheric building is restored to its former glory and, as in its heyday when it housed the Golden Lion, it is again a place where you can eat, drink and be merry.
The stylish bistro is set in an extraordinary building, over 300 years ago it was once a merchant’s house when Barnstaple was a bustling trade centre.

Now, there is an eclectic evening menu for meals and an awesome range of cocktails. Make sure to take a look at the menus online where you can find drinks, seasonal lunch and party menus.

Coffee House

 

Set right by the lounges of the Royal and Fortescue Hotel, their Coffee House is a delightful place to take some precious time out to relax. Among the simple and tempting menu are speciality coffees which are perfect for savouring those special moments.

You’ll find it difficult not to be tempted by the array of cup-cakes, pastries, Devonshire Clotted Cream Teas, famous speciality coffees and warming hot chocolate with marshmallows. The comfortable and inviting environment makes the Royal and Fortescue Coffee House a very special place to relax and recharge.

Bar 62

Bar 62 is a dazzling new cocktail bar that takes over the Coffee House in the evenings. This amazing cocktail bar has fresh, contemporary decor and sleek furnishings combined with subdued lighting to create a very special place to gather with friends.

With a reputation as the most convivial place to meet in Barnstaple has been given a further boost with the opening of this wonderful venue. Sip on an aperitif before your meal at one of the restaurants before enjoying an expertly prepared seasonal cocktail at Bar 62. Or maybe drop in for a glass or two of bubbly before your trip to the theatre.

Afterwards, you can sink into one of our comfy sofas and round off your evening with one of the world’s finest spirits. So go on, treat yourself to a touch of the high life.

The drinks list with house cocktails is available to view online, so you can make a short list of your favourite drinks ready for your stay or visit!

Additionally, the hotel is lucky to have some amazing local foods produced right on the doorstep, which is why they source fresh foods as locally as possible. The menus also cater for all food tastes and preferences, including Gluten Free and Vegan.
